Why Retaining Walls Lean (and What to Do)

The common causes of leaning walls in Ballarat, and when repair or rebuild is needed.

A leaning wall is a sign that the pressure behind it is winning.

Water pressure

Saturated soil is heavy. Without drainage, it pushes walls over. See retaining wall drainage.

Undersized posts

Sleeper walls need posts deep enough for the height. See timber sleeper walls.

Repair or rebuild

Small leans can sometimes be fixed. Bigger failures need rebuilding. See retaining wall repairs.

Clay and winter rain are a tough combination, and it helps to see how retaining wall contractors in similar climates approach it.
